Oprah Winfrey Settles Defamation Lawsuit

Just one week before the trial was scheduled to begin, Oprah Winfrey settled the defamation lawsuit made against her by the former headmistress of her boarding school in South Africa.

Nomvuyo Mzamane, the former headmistress, filed a defamation suit against Winfrey due to remarks made during the 2007 sex-abuse scandal at the school. Winfrey stated she had “lost confidence” in her and was “cleaning house from top to bottom.” Mzamane said it was those remarks that made it impossible for her to find another job.

The lawyers for each camp provided a statement saying that they “are happy that they could resolve this dispute peacefully to their mutual satisfaction.” The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
